I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law-Chapter 469
After Xie Xuanchen came back, Mu Mingtang rested for a few days. Madam Senior Governor always wanted to come to pay her respects to Mu Mingtang, but it was always met with a dismissal due to the Princess being preoccupied. When she finally found the opportunity, it was time for Mu Mingtang to leave.
Now that the situation was very favourable to the Ye Dynasty, Xie Xuanchen would certainly not miss such a good opportunity to take any action. He had already written to the guards in Zhongshan and Hejian, reminding them to intercept Ye Luji as he planned to lead his men to surround the enemy from behind. It is necessary to annihilate the entire Beirong army and capture Ye Luji alive.
After the army rested for a few days, Xie Xuanchen’s teams were well-rested and they went to confront Ye Luji. Ye Luji’s surprise attack at the Yellow River was accomplishable as they utilised Zhending to pass through. As of the present, the Zhending City was. Without the person in charge being present, it was like an empty city. Ye Luji would definitely not let go of such an opportunity to take cover there.
Mu Mingtang also packed her bags and headed to Zhending City.
The Senior Governor of Enzhou almost cried when he sent Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen out of the city. As Xie Xuanchen said, the place where Mu Mingtang would be the border of the Ye Dynasty. Since Mu Mingtang was heading out north of Enzhou City, the Senior Governor immediately felt a strong sense of security as he knew that he was safe.
Xie Xuanchen would not let Mu Mingtang be threatened in the slightest. In the same way, anyone living in the large area of land behind her could rest assured.
After Mu Mingtang arrived at Zhending City, she got out of the carriage and saw that there was a mess everywhere before she sighed deeply.
The servants gathered around her and asked, “This was once a good office residence; how did it end up this way?”
Zhending City was defeated by Ye Luji. Although Ye Luji immediately went south to besiege the capital, with the usual style of the Beirong people, it was conceivable that the location would be looted and set on fire before leaving. Zhending’s Official Residence was located in the northern centre of the city, protected from the ravages of the fire. However, it looked very desolate at the moment.
Mu Mingtang sighed and said, “It’s already a lucky thing that the house was left behind even after all this chaos. You all should be careful— leave in pairs wherever you go and be careful of outsiders hiding in the mansion. If there are still people in the mansion who have not had time to escape like servants and maidservants, give them a thorough check. If nothing is amiss with their background, let them stay behind.”
“Yes.”
The Chief Officer of Zhending City ran away after it was pillaged and the royal court was too busy to care about itself to bother with the city. After Xie Xuanchen entered the city, there was no suspense. He moved directly into the official residence and took over all military and political power.
Mu Mingtang had always been on her own and lived in a private house thus far. Now that she was in this situation, she could only move into the Chief Officer’s Residence and clean up the messy backyard. Mu Mingtang sighed as she looked at the dilapidated backyard. She directed the servants to fetch water and sweep the floor, remove the damaged tables, chairs and other furniture before requesting the guards to re-hang the fallen plaque.
